Ohio Valley Mud Run is July 19

In less than two months, thrill seekers, athletes, enthusiasts, novices and youth groups will take to the mud in Vincent for the inaugural Ohio Valley Mud Run.

The two-day event will begin July 19 with live entertainment and camping before an entire day of filthy and challenging obstacles.

The course is designed to challenge participants individually but with a focus on teamwork and sportsmanship at every obstacle. Unlike a traditional 5K race, winners are not determined by time trials but rather by participation and attitude.

There are four challenge categories based on age, distance and difficulty. A post-run awards ceremony and cookout is scheduled for participants 30 minutes after the final run is completed.

People who want to participate in the run must register online at www.ohiovalleymudrun.com and complete the official waiver in cooperation with safety and restricted guidelines.

For a complete schedule, including rules, information, directions or obstacles, call Todd Offenberger at 304-481-7385 or John Alfred at 740-350-9226.

The Marietta-Washington County Convention and Visitors Bureau is a nonprofit organization. The mission of the bureau is to promote Marietta and Washington County as a distinctive destination. To learn more about the Marietta-Washington County CVB, visit www.mariettaohio.org.
